Michael Kidd-Gilchrist might want to look to Kevin Durant for tips on improvement. At first glance, that's an odd connection to make. The hard-slashing MKG has a much different game than the sweet-shooting Thunder superstar...

Tyreke Evans needs to develop a left hand. I can only assume that the Sacramento Kings are wholly devoted to fixing this issue of his, but perhaps that assumption is giving this organization too much credit...

Every year, we're too quick to judge a veteran as washed up. We can't help it. As fans and pundits, we're wired towards being savvy, towards being the first to call a trend. Well, quite a few veteran players are still near their prime levels...
